To the organizers

FastNX · 05-08-2006, 12:30 AM

I just wanted to say thanks! We had an excellent time at the convention. We were impressed at how well the event was organized. The directions were spot-on, the hotels were good and reasonable priced, and the picnic was a ton of fun. Best of all, the track day was well organized and at a great venue.

Good job ordering great weather too

It was good to finally meet all the guys from the form. It was aboot time

Also big thanks to Fatboy SER (Mark). You really helped me out in a big way and I can't thank you enough. On the way home we were discussing who's car we would like to drive on the track and it was a toss-up between yours and the GTi-R powered classic.

This was my first convention and it was a blast. Thanks to all the organizers for such a great event, and to all the attendees for making it so much fun!

Ditto.

Sorry Kieran. I take back all the nasty things I said about you.

Hehe... I don't

j/k... everyone I met was decent and I enjoyed meeting many of the guys that I've talked with over the past several months about the convention.

While it was a lot of fun and everything, I'm definitely glad it's all over

Big thanks to Ray and Kieran for doing the convention. Also for the rest of the organizers you all did a wonderful job. Now where is my 50/50 winnings and raffle prizes!

Even though I only attendd the picnic, it was nice putting faces to the people I talk to almost everyday for the past 3 years. I enjoyed my time at the picnic; makes me regret not attending the other days. Hopefully, I can attend next year in full effect.

Thanks Lee... The 50/50 Harry Barker won. Raffle prizes... I'm not 100% sure if you won anything. I vaguely remember them calling your name. A Nismo keychain or something

I swear I thought they were going to pull your name for the QR balance shaft removal kit

Joe M · 05-08-2006, 08:46 AM

Also my first experience, and though I didn't make the track event, I had a great time on saturday and at the picnic as well.

great job everyone!

Kieran.....did you have a moving truck pull up to help you with all your winnings?

Hey, hey, hey... my wife took a few things and I took a few things. In all fairness, I did "donate" $180 or so's worth toward the raffle tickets. I wanted to make sure that we had the money for the convention so I paid more than I probably should have. My wife would've killed me if she'd known how much money I put toward those raffle tickets. Luckily the winnings are enough to cover the tickets when I sell the stuff I don't need/want (which is probably most of it!) I'll be posting a list for everyone to mull over. I still need to unpack my suitcase and unload stuff from my car. It may take me days before I find the raffle prizes!

Joe M · 05-08-2006, 08:55 AM

just breaking your balls.

i was happy enough to walk away with a fuel rail kit and a nismo shirt. I never win anything at raffles. Ever!

Daley · 05-08-2006, 09:00 AM

Yeah, a big thanks to the organizers. The 2000 km I put on my car was well worth it

Hopefully next year I'll be able to drive the track instead of just instructing.

kieranlavin · 05-08-2006, 09:15 AM

Joe - wasn't sure... I know there were people there that didn't understand and probably still don't understand that the more raffle tickets you buy, the more you help the region and the better chance you'll have of winning something. I think I beat Torry this year... usually he has the most raffle tickets!

Craig (right?) - you should definitely have driven the student's car first

Uafan · 05-08-2006, 10:21 AM

I had a good time, was my first convention, and luckily it was 4 mins away from my house. Didn't make the picnic, but I wish i did after dumping like $50 into raffletickets

urbanracerone · 05-08-2006, 10:24 AM

i had a awasome time, being my 2nd convention. thanks to all the organizers for doing a great job. It was real nice to meet some very nice people like Greg Perry, Jim etc. See you all in chicago next year...

werd i had some fun...on another thought. who ever designed the roadways in NJ needs shot

Joe M · 05-08-2006, 11:38 AM

The "jug-handle" will be the the undoing of mankind as we know it

Peanuthead · 05-08-2006, 11:39 AM

I had a fairly good time, barring the unforseen stuff. My DARN fuel pump/relay went dead last night at 1:00am on the way home. I was only 10 miles from home. Talk about a long weekend and last night/this morning. Tired is the least to describe how I feel. I can't and won't miss Chicago.

Thanks for everyone who helped out from the event organizers to the great food at the pinic. For those that have not went to a Convention yet, you MUST go! There are some gret looking and FAST cars.

Jun's red B13 is just plain LLOOWW to the ground and SICK! Jun, just go ahead buy a car showroom for it. You know you want one to store it in.

And the Jersey traffic and potholed roadways....well lets just say they are sorry doesn't come close.

You should have taken the Volvo out.
